A Quick Video of Avery

Its been a LONG month

I almost don't even know where to start. I told you all it would be awhile before I got back on this thing. It seems every time I get on here to download pics or to write I get distracted. And at nights...forget about it. By the time I get Carson to bed and Avery her night cap I'm out!

So, lets see...where to begin. Well, after Avery was born I had just a few days with Nick before he had to leave and go work in Kentucky. A day after he left his parents came down for a week. It was a really nice visit. And boy did they spoil Carson Wynn!! They took him for walks, went to museums, bought him books, and played played PLAYED! He really missed them when they left. And I think they were pretty fond of our Avery, too. ;) They helped me out a lot. I got to get some rest when Avery slept because they were watching Carson. Thanks, again David & Colleen.

Then my sister came with her husband and little girl. I wish I had more pics of their visit, but when I went to download to the site I couldn't find them. I'll try and add a couple in the next post. They brought the nicest gift...a moses basket FILLED with goodies. It was WAY too sweet. And we have really gotten the good out of the moses basket. And Ms. Abby brought Avery all of her Bobo's since Abby is a big girl now and doesn't need them. (Don't worry, we aren't going to use them, it was just to help Abby). But, it was so so so.....sweet.

Then we had a couple weeks of getting a routine down. I think we are doing pretty well. Avery goes longer now in between bottles and I try to get to them bed at around the same time. She is such a good baby. Everyone said I wouldn't have another good natured baby like Carson. LOL They were wrong! Thank goodness!! But, believe me I was prepared for a screamer. But, she is a lot more needy than Carson was. You can hardly put her down. But I have to give a shout out to Tera Knepp for introducing me to the hotsling. I put her in that pouch and we are good to go. I'm hands free to deal with Carson and she is close to me. So everyone wins.

A week ago was Easter and we spent that time at Mom & Dad's for the weekend. It was a great time. But, actually we spent about a week there because my car was in the shop. OH YEAH! I forgot to mention I was in a wreck!!!! Praise the Lord the kids weren't with me! But, I got rear ended while I was getting ready to turn. The man came up behind about 40 or 50 mph. I had to be transported to the hospital on a back brace (it was so embarrassing). My back hurt for like 2 weeks, but it's better now. They gave me muscle relaxers, but I was unable to take them because I had to be up with Avery. But, anyway $4000 worth of damage and I have my Tahoe back. Oh, and for those of you who didn't know Nick got a new car. A 350Z, it was a lot cheaper payment than his diesel and a lot cheaper on gas. I guess we didn't need 2 family vehicles, and this car is TONS of fun!!!

Anyway, back on Easter....the whole family was there and it was alot of fun. Abby and Carson got to play (they are so sweet to each other) and I got to spend time with my sister. I love my Nin. :) She and my mom also helped me out and watched the kiddos so I could go find a place in Louisville. No such luck yet, but I will keep you posted.

Okay, so to wrap things up because I know I have skipped through ALOT...Avery is doing extremely well and growing like a weed....Carson is getting to be such a big boy and showing his true colors more and more...and Nick is extremely busy and stressed at work, but he does get to come home on the weekends and be with the family that misses him SO much. And me.....I'm handling it all pretty well. Two babies can be hard, but with angels like mine it's easy to get through.
